Well, I'mma make a note to wait on AoT from now on. Alright episode, a little development on Takatsuki, and an explanation or two about where the organizations are from and what exactly their roles are. Tomo's brother is still pretty in the dark. It'd also appear that Tomo and Misao made a form of pact. To ice the cake, we're given a nice little foreshadowing of impending doom for the Earth. Sounds like a party.

I'm sort of liking Asura Cryin' so far; it's turning out far different from my initial expectations.

Personally, I'd enjoy it more if it actually took the time to develop as opposed to throwing plot-related material in random directions.
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder?

The beginning was kinda fast since it didn't pick up where it left off. It get's more in depth with the characters. But at the end it came to a nice climax and with that little cliff hanger, which I can only anticipate the next episode.

first he wake up next to that woman from the science club(saw that coming); then he goes meet the owner of his house, who believes in spiral as an intricate part of life (allusion to guran lagann if you ask me); then he meet tatsuki whose father his the head of the local yakuza; and apparently the student body president is also part of those society of light type people, who also has a ghost and a giant robot came out of his shadow...

Cause Lagann feature spiral? Lol nothing in common sorry.

To me it's way more an allusions to Kara no kyoukai than anything else. The mage beleive that spiral is the creation and everything, etc. Nothing that you can find in TTGL where the spiral power is just a source of energy who come from a physic principe.

Anyway the episode was good imo :).

True this one was better than the first I must say this gave me the same feeling as when I watched to aru majutsu no index ,in the first half of the episode I felt like I was going to put it on hold until it finishes airing but the ending just makes you want to see the next episode :D

anyway I believe this is going to be interesting ^^

I'm not sure if it was a subbing error or if it was intentional, but that had the best piece of dialog ever:

Misao: He [Saeki] indeed is a dangerous person. He's totally retarded.
Saeki: What a noob.

I loled so much. Other than that, better than the first episode, though they still haven't managed to finish the plot setup

I'm sorry, this episode frustrated me to no end. This anime just keeps on introducing so many terms and hints on things going on but never freaking explains them. We still don't know jack shit about anything. Just that there's god, and the devil and some dark society and they are fighting against each other. Grrr....they better start explaining things and Tomo better MAN UP soon too.

This may fill the "Good elements, but overall sadly mediocre" void that Index left. It's very weird to just be thrown into these situations with no context.

Also, I was getting more of a Spiral feel than I was a Gurren Lagann feel what with the missing brother. Though, hopefully this won't try and be clever with a puzzle of the arc motif. It seems that this is going to play out more like Index with the main character being tugged in different directions by every girl he meets.

Not really, but since she's not really a ghost, I'll reserve judgment for when they fully explain everything. I really am just a sucker for the "main character being tugged around by warring factions" convention. When done correctly it can have a lot in the way of characters make bad, but necessary choices.

She is! You saw her body at end of episode 1? Now they say she could be sacrifice of Machina but her body still ok at end of #1.

Wait, wait. Was she dead? I don't even remember seeing her body. I remember that quick flash in the beginning of episode 1 of her floating above the main character. I'm thinking more like she's in a coma or her body is useless or she some super powered psychic who has no use for her body since they're speaking this "projected image" stuff.

I find her interesting, heterochromacy aside since she's the 3rd or so character that I'm watching with it. Though I'm not sure about the whole being a demon thing. But I do wonder about her overall role here besides just helping him prevent a war.

Seconded. They better not rush things; we need some clarification here.

On another note, I find Takatsuki's character rather interesting. Would like to know what's her real purpose behind all this.

So, the reason that Asura appeared, and that there's a 'devil' (Takatsuki), is to destroy the world? It would seriously be epic if they just decided, "Oh, what the heck, let's get our evil on" and fulfilled their destiny. So cool.

Of course, when has that ever happened?
